Steps

1

If you are a person who does not read much, then start off by reading simple short stories. But as you read remember that there is no hurry to finish it off.

2

Try to visualize.

3

After you read some short stories you will have some idea of what your taste is, for example horror, fiction, romance etc. Search for short novels that have the themes of your taste.

4

Now that you have a novel which has the theme which interests you, start reading it page by page making sure that you understand the words.

5

If you don't understand a particular word immediately look it up in the dictionary and try to use that word in your conversations. In this way you can also develop your vocabulary.

6

To make the novel more interesting, imagine yourself as one of the main characters.

7

Don't force yourself to sit and complete a particular chapter within a specified period. If you do so, reading will seem like a chore and gradually you will lose your interest.

8

After you have read some novels, try reading more serious matters like current affairs. Start with magazines that specialize in current affairs.

9

Try to vocalize your opinions about the current problems that you have read in the magazines. You are sure to gain appreciation.

10

After you feel confident that you are enjoying the "reading habit", start reading classics like The Pickwick Papers, A Tale of Two Cities, etc. Every classic you read is an intangible asset.
